I am pleased to announce that the Office of the Center Director has created a blog. The purpose is to have a new and (we hope) effective tool for communication at the Center. The Deputy Director, the Associate Director for Institutions and Research, and I will use the blog to periodically convey information and to share important developments affecting the Center with you all. The "Ask the Director" link will also be available via this site.

The blog will be up as of today, but please be aware it is still "under construction." You can access the blog at http://pete.arc.nasa.gov/. Please bookmark this URL on your browser. We also plan to place a link to the blog on the Inside Ames home page.

I hope you will find this new resource to be an interesting and useful means of communication.
